K–12 AI Compass · For the Bay Area’s next generation
Preparing Bay Area children for a world we’re still learning to understand.
Our children will inherit a world different from the one we grew up in. We want them to have the knowledge, judgment, curiosity and human connections to help shape it.
K–12 AI Compass brings together research, district practices and community experience to help families and educators make thoughtful choices about AI—and learn what helps children thrive.
Our guiding question
We begin with children’s development and the lives we hope they can lead. The tools we choose should serve those aims.
Knowledge, critical judgment, creativity and the confidence to ask good questions—even when answers come easily.
Room to make choices, take responsibility, learn through effort and build meaningful relationships with others.
Learning that respects different needs and circumstances, with attention to whose opportunities expand and who may be left behind.
Find your starting point

Try a thoughtful next step ↗Use a small pilot guide, adapt a template and decide what evidence would justify continuing.
Learn with the community ↗Bring a question or share an experience. Community contributions publish immediately, are subject to moderation, and stay distinct from reviewed research.
How we work
We distinguish research findings from interpretation, plans from implementation, and activity from measured impact. We welcome contrary findings, unsuccessful trials and corrections.
This is a working, AI-assisted collection. The district comparisons describe public documentation; they are not rankings of school quality. Our mission is to support better questions and better decisions as the evidence develops.
Where we stand · September 8, 2026
7 profiles have complete documentation scores; 18 are partial. Three additional searches remain unresolved, and 130 districts await review. Source checks vary in depth; coverage does not mean a comprehensive audit.
Explore academic research, policy documents and implementation evidence. Each entry preserves the source finding, evidence characterization and its limitations.

For school leaders and student advisory groups
PAUSD publishes student listening-session and survey materials. This documents a feedback process, not evidence that listening caused better learning.
PAUSD · Student Perspectives & Feedback ↗ · District evidence trail
One facilitator; allow 60–90 minutes of preparation and a 20–30 minute discussion. Adapt this estimate to your setting.
Track which perspectives were represented, how many issues received a response, and whether students report clearer expectations at a follow-up. A small discussion cannot estimate district-wide opinion.
Select and copy this text, then replace the brackets for your setting.
When has AI helped you understand something? When has it made learning harder? Which assignment rules are unclear? What should adults change first? Our next action: [change]. We will report back by [date].
For teachers and teaching teams
MVLA explains that teacher directions determine permitted AI use on assignments. Its guidance provides a policy example; it does not establish the learning effect of a particular permission model.
One teacher; allow 20–30 minutes to draft directions and 5 minutes to discuss them with students. Adapt this estimate to your setting.
Track clarification questions, whether students can explain the rules, and the quality of independent explanations. Do not treat fewer reported incidents as proof of less misuse.
Select and copy this text, then replace the brackets for your setting.
Learning goal: [what students should understand or do]. You may use AI for: [specific assistance, or none]. You must do yourself: [essential thinking and work]. Tools and access: [approved option and an equivalent route without AI]. Acknowledgement: [what to disclose and where]. Show your learning through: [explanation, draft history or demonstration].
For teaching teams and curriculum leaders
SRVUSD’s Technology Plan connects AI with student agency and authentic assessment. This is a published strategic direction; it is not proof of completed redesign or improved outcomes.
SRVUSD · Technology Plan, Academic Integrity ↗ · District evidence trail
A pair of teachers; allow one 45–60 minute planning meeting, plus normal assessment time and a 20-minute review. Adapt this estimate to your setting.
Compare rubric evidence of independent understanding, student experience and teacher time. A classroom pilot can inform a local decision but cannot establish a causal effect.

These open questions guide what we investigate next. We welcome evidence that changes our conclusions.
The initial district review exposes the same missing links: measured outcomes, teacher time, implementation costs and decisions to scale or stop. These gaps are priorities for further research, not proof of absence across the Bay Area.
See district patterns ↗ · Inspect the district matrix ↗Researchers, educators, students, policymakers, technologists and community members are invited to add primary research, policy documents, datasets, district implementation reports and credible counter-evidence.
We especially want evidence that challenges our interpretations, documents failed implementations, quantifies costs, or reports null results.
Submission does not imply endorsement.Read source findings separately from interpretations, policy commitments separately from implementation, and documented activity separately from measured impact.
43 unique source records received a review pass. 42 summaries were checked against the stated primary-source scope; one teacher-development review remains unresolved beyond its bibliographic metadata. Abstract and overview checks are explicitly identified and are not full-text critical appraisals.
Twenty-five profiles now contain at least some AI-specific evidence. Three further searches remain unresolved, and 130 districts have not received a review pass. Seven profiles have complete documentation totals; incomplete profiles have no aggregate. Scores are editorial judgments, not district-endorsed rankings.
The initial collection combined an evidence library and a district observatory. Duplicate source notes were consolidated. The district roster was reconciled with the CDE’s 2026–27 district list on September 8, 2026. AI assisted the research and synthesis; no independent second reviewer has signed off.
Prefer papers, datasets, statutes and district documents over commentary.
Record what the source finds separately from what we think it implies.
Actively index null findings, failed pilots and credible arguments that challenge our interpretations.
Show date added, reviewer, classification changes and prior synthesis versions.
Source records show the scope and date of each check; district cells link to their rationale. A full reviewer history and prior synthesis versions are not yet available. Recent corrections appear below and on the About page.
The research universe is the nine-county Bay Area's public K–12 school districts. The roster matches the CDE’s 2026–27 list for the nine counties, excluding entries marked lapsed. The CDE itself cautions that directory information is locally self-reported and can contain omissions or errors, so roster corrections should be welcomed and versioned.
For this edition, the review corpus is the primary pages linked in each district profile. A 0 means a dimension was not found in those pages; it does not establish district-wide absence. Blank means unknown or not audited. Embedded documents not accessible during review are not treated as verified.
Scoring: 2 = explicit district-level guidance, strategy or published practice; 1 = planned, partial or school-level evidence; 0 = not found in the reviewed corpus; blank = unknown. For outcomes, 1 can indicate a reported monitoring process without published results; 2 requires documented results. For costs, 1 can indicate a relevant bundled allocation, while 2 requires AI-specific amounts. Neither is proof of effectiveness or actual spending unless explicitly stated. Totals require all 15 dimensions to be scored. All dimensions have equal weight; the total is a navigation aid, not a validated scale.
Roster sources: California Department of Education Public District Directory; Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Solano and Sonoma county education-office district directories; SFUSD for San Francisco County.
Contribute a primary source, missing district document, correction, null result or cost study. Contributions remain separate from the reviewed corpus until editorial review.
Prepare a contribution ↗This edition consolidates duplicate records, adds access-check labels, distinguishes planned district actions from implementation, and introduces an owner-reviewed contribution inbox. SFUSD’s board-document index is not treated as proof of an OpenAI agreement. Cupertino’s school handbook is not treated as district-wide policy. Submit a correction with a primary source through the contribution form.
On September 8, 2026, direct checks of the Saint Helena 2024–25 course catalog and Sequoia Union High academic integrity PDF returned “not found,” although both documents remain indexed by search engines. Their original citations are retained for provenance; these historical documents should not be assumed to describe current policy. Replacement copies remain to be verified.
25 profiles have some AI-specific evidence (7 scored across all dimensions, 18 partial); 3 searches remain unresolved; 130 have not been reviewed. A scored dimension measures documentation, not effectiveness. Initial reviews are bounded by the sources listed in each profile.
| County | Roster | Evidence profiles | Unresolved searches | Not reviewed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Alameda | 18 | 4 | 0 | 14 |
| Contra Costa | 18 | 3 | 0 | 15 |
| Marin | 17 | 2 | 0 | 15 |
| Napa | 5 | 2 | 0 | 3 |
| San Francisco | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
| San Mateo | 23 | 3 | 1 | 19 |
| Santa Clara | 31 | 8 | 0 | 23 |
| Solano | 6 | 1 | 1 | 4 |
| Sonoma | 39 | 1 | 1 | 37 |
The second batch used targeted AI searches and public district or school pages, selected for geographic spread and source availability. It is not random, exhaustive or independently double-reviewed. Historical documents, indexed excerpts, first-person announcements and unreviewed attachments are labeled. A search that finds no AI-specific evidence does not establish absence.
San Francisco has one district in this roster. SFUSD was refreshed alongside 20 additions from the other eight counties. Petaluma’s shared administration is represented here by its high-school district only; its elementary district remains unaudited.
Reconciled all 158 entries with the CDE 2026–27 district list (Excel). Added Montgomery Elementary and Two Rock Union, which were missing. Removed Montebello Elementary (closed) and Kashia Elementary (listed as lapsed into Horicon) from the active roster. The total remains 158; Santa Clara now has 31 entries and Sonoma has 39. District names follow the state list; existing profile links are preserved.

Choose a district for its source trail, or compare up to four. Plans, public guidance and measured outcomes are different kinds of evidence.
Select districts from the matrix or add the current profile. Reviewed scores describe documentation within the listed source corpus.
Editorial recommendations grounded in the sources below. These are starting points for a local decision, not claims that one approach works everywhere.
What the evidence says. A Tennessee middle-school trial of Khan Academy plus Khanmigo reported modest math gains, with limited substantive chatbot use. It does not establish that adding AI outperforms comparable practice without it. A Harvard physics trial found benefits for a specifically designed tutor in a short undergraduate setting; transfer to K–12 remains uncertain.
Our recommendation. Run a bounded pilot with a comparable non-AI practice group, teacher supervision, and a clearly defined learning objective. Measure unaided retention, participation, teacher workload and full cost. Agree on expansion and stopping criteria before launch.
What would change this advice? Replicated K–12 evidence showing lasting learning benefits over a credible alternative, with reported implementation costs and subgroup outcomes.
Tennessee working paper ↗ · Harvard trial ↗ · K–12 tutoring review ↗What the evidence says. UNESCO provides a competency framework covering human-centred practice, ethics, AI foundations, pedagogy and professional learning. PAUSD publishes professional-learning materials and student feedback. These show a framework and documented activity, not proof of improved student outcomes.
Our recommendation. Start with one teaching problem per team. Give teachers time to test a workflow, check its accuracy and accessibility, and compare resulting student work. Include privacy, student agency and assessment design. Share failures alongside useful examples.
Measure. Track preparation time, correction time, quality of learning tasks and unaided student performance. Tool usage and workshop attendance are implementation measures, not sufficient evidence of learning.

K12 Future Fund · An initiative in formation
Help public schools prepare children for a world that is changing around them.
We are bringing together educators, families and founding supporters to build a fund for Bay Area public-school innovation—grounded in evidence, guided by teachers and focused on children.
Our goals
Help public-school educators test thoughtful approaches to AI literacy, teaching and assessment, with time and resources to learn what works.
Prioritize children and schools with fewer resources. Build knowledge, independent judgment, creativity and the confidence to shape their futures.
Support small, measurable pilots and publish their lessons, costs and outcomes—including results that challenge our expectations.
The funding model we aim to build
Our goal is for every dollar designated for school grants to reach public-school programs, with operating costs covered separately by founding supporters.
We envision an unpaid board and volunteer leadership, with no compensation taken from the school grant fund. Administration, insurance, payment processing and any fiscal-sponsor fees still need to be funded. Separate operating support must be secured before we can make an unconditional 100% commitment.
We intend to publish grants, recipients, program outcomes and a clear accounting of both grant funding and operating expenses. These are founding commitments we are working to establish, not a record of funds already raised or distributed.
Build this with us
We invite expressions of interest from prospective unpaid board members with experience in public education, finance, nonprofit governance, fundraising or community leadership. Bring sound judgment, time to contribute and a commitment to children.
While the structure is being established, participants would serve as founding advisers. Formal board appointments will depend on the organization’s eventual structure; a fiscal sponsor would retain its own legal oversight.
Express board interest ↗Help establish the first school grant fund, underwrite operating costs separately, or contribute professional expertise. We welcome conversations with individuals, families, businesses and foundations who share the mission.
We are gathering expressions of interest, not accepting payments or binding pledges through this site.
Discuss founding support ↗Educators and school leaders: tell us which learning needs deserve attention, what a useful small grant could enable and how you would judge progress. Your experience can help shape the first program.
Share a school program idea ↗We welcome introductions to education-aligned fiscal sponsors and people with nonprofit legal, accounting or grant administration expertise.
Offer an introduction or expertise ↗Where we stand
K12 Future Fund is a proposed initiative associated with K–12 AI Compass. It does not currently have recognized 501(c)(3) status, and no fiscal sponsorship arrangement has been established. We plan to explore sponsorship, recruit founding advisers and define an initial school grant program before launching fundraising.
No donations are being accepted on this page, and no claim of tax deductibility is made. We will publish the legal structure, oversight arrangements and funding terms when they are established.
Evidence comes first. Financial support will not purchase favorable research coverage, district scores or grant selection. Our proposed process will include conflict disclosures and documented selection criteria.
